2. She Sets Goals

“My best advice to readers is to work out with a buddy. They keep you motivated and get you out of bed. I think it's also important to set goals. For example, when I started to run, I would run a mile and then walk a mile and kept building up as time went on. If you are running on the street, go one mailbox or one house further each day. It also helps to build up your endurance!” she told Glamour.

3. She Drink Smoothies

“One thing [the kids and I] do is have a smoothie every morning,” she told Women’s Health. Says David Zinczenko, author of Zero Belly Smoothies: “Because we’re tired of feeling bloated and uncomfortable and as a result we are more primed to look for food-based solutions that can help us look and feel better. It’s amazing to think that 65% of Americans are lactose intolerant. Dealing with that kind of discomfort on a regular basis is really motivating. “ He makes sure his smoothies are “dairy free and use plant-based protein sources to better aid digestion and feed your ‘good’ belly bacteria,” he says.

4. She Starts Her Day Off Right

“We’re early risers in our house. I’m making breakfast while the kids are all getting ready for school. At 7 a.m. we sit down and have breakfast as a family. Knowing that they’re going to be busy at school all day, I always make sure that they start off with a hearty breakfast,” she had said. She added: “I always try to include fresh fruit and vegetables in all of our meals,” she says. “I am also not a believer in fat-free anything. I believe eating a little bit everything does the trick. I try to stay away from most processed foods and make most of our dishes from scratch.”

5. She Indulges at Times

“[I was] out to dinner this weekend, and truffles are in season. I had to have the truffle pizza and the truffle pasta. It’s not like I don’t [indulge], but not all the time,” she told Women’s Health. “If you feel less deprived by eating that piece of cake, or burger and fries, and don’t feel you have to order one of everything off the menu, it could lead to better long-term outcomes,” Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. told the Cleveland Clinic.

“I don't really have a specific diet. I just eat very healthily,” Klum told Entertainment Tonight. “I start with great smoothies in the morning. I also have four children, so we cook a lot. I don't really eat out a lot. I think when you eat out a lot or when you order foods in a lot, then it kind of gets a little tricky because you don't know what people are putting in there. So I cook a lot. I do three big meals, but really my last one is at 6:00 PM. I eat with my kids. I think that also helps a little bit. I think when you eat a little on the earlier side, it has time to digest and I think it is a little bit better for your body.”

2. Being in the Public Eye is Not Always Easy

“Being in the public eye is not always easy,” she told E! “Sometimes they look at you and they're like, ‘Oh my God, is she pregnant again? I see a little bump on her stomach then. Oh my God, she's too thin. Why she's getting so thin?’ I think a woman always struggles. We always struggle with our pounds. They go up and they go down. With me when I have five pounds on more or less, it really really shows. So sometimes I have to struggle keeping them on. Sometimes I have to struggle keeping them off. It depends on if there was just a holiday, now with Thanksgiving around the corner, the five pounds will go on again. So it always goes up and down.”

3. She Does a Bit of Cardio

“I don't really have that time to go and spend an hour at the gym,” she told E! ‘So I have to make due with walking the stairs instead of taking the elevator, jumping on the trampoline with my kids, being more involved in their activities. And then sometimes I hit my treadmill. So I make it into my attic. I have a treadmill in there and like sometimes even just 30 minutes or 40 minutes on that, I do a little bit of cardio.”

4. She is Always Active

As for losing baby weight, Klum feels “I'm partially lucky. Partially. I eat very healthy. I do watch what I eat, which is still a lot. People always think, oh, she probably doesn't eat anything. I do eat a lot, but I do watch what I eat. I try to stay away from the carbs … I'm very mobile … I'm very active. There's always something to do. If it's like cleaning up the closet and the kids are in school, or there's always something going through my house….”

5. She Says Women Should Embrace Their Shape

“I love designing swimsuits and it's a beach party or a pool party. So I thought that would be the perfect attire for today. I tried to make swimsuits for women, any shape or size. And I also believe that women should embrace their shape no matter what shape they're in. I think you should love yourself for who you are,” she told ET.
